I wonder exactly how much the 1 seed will count for here against Halo (since I'm assuming it's got more people winning this than anyone else other than MG).

Karma Hunter, I'm not sure why you insist that performing well on Halo is anything special after it's been exposed repeatedly.

And whoever called Kingdom Hearts winning an update last night ended up being right.

Hey, if there's anyone aware of Halo getting exposed, it's me. But exposed or not, Halo doing that poorly on Silent Hill would be absurd. We're all aware this is the series that lost to Yu-Gi-Oh and None of the above in past polls, right?

I don't know about you, but I'd rather play my games, rather than watch 3 hours of non-stop cutscenes.

Haven't read yet if someone already covered this, but as a strong fan of both KH and MG, KHII had an overabundance of cutscenes, as well. However, in both series, cutscenes are a good thing, a very good thing. It's possible and right! to like both series.

cyko | Posted 7/27/2006 8:54:05 PM | message detail
since the match is about to start, i must say that i am surprised by the number of low predictions for tomorrow's match. Mario should break 75% without much trouble. and if there is any SFF in SMB vs. SSB at all, then Mario will break 80%.

I certainly blame the Metal Gear sprite for a Fire Emblem overperformance.

But to say that Silent Hill doing somewhat decent on Halo is absurd, is absurd itself.

Silent Hill got 43% on Fire Emblem, which has shown itself to be more or less respectable at this site. This is GameFAQs after all.

And just because Silent Hill feels to us like it should be fodder doesn't mean it is. The results speak for themselves.

Karma Hunter | Posted 7/27/2006 8:58:39 PM | message detail
But it *is* fodder. Silent Hill is one of my favorite series, but I know how cult the dang thing is here. Look at Pyramid Head in the villains contest, perhaps THE most celebrated character in all of Silent Hill, and certainly the fan-favorite (James Sunderland might do better, but the result would be miniscule). Every indication we have ever had has pointed to Silent Hill being absolute trash.

Blame Metal Gear/Fire Emblem, blame Metal Gear/Kingdom Hearts, blame random variation, but saying SH is that strong is evident that you don't know the series to begin with.

Resisting SFF against Mario? It might not even DOUBLE Super Smash Brothers at this rate.

I'm impressed with SSB so far. didn't think it'd be anything near close, even with the board slurping on SSBM so much. this is closer than KH was.

Yeah, there's no question Final Fantasy would be smashing this, and there's no SFF at all.

What now, KH? I knew it should at least resist the SFF. Seriously, I never understand in which book everyone saw that SSB can get SFF. It's a totally different series.
